Star Wars fans took over the Anaheim Convention Center for four days during a conference called Star Wars Celebration. It was crazy fun, a bit overwhelming at times but I’m glad that I got to experience it, especially since my hubby & daughter are huge fans.

A friend of mine told me about her trip to NYC & how she wanted to see a musical on Broadway. She saved money by going through the TKTS ticket booth in Times Square, which sells tickets to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows at 30-50% off the day of the show.
